The Heat

Working nights at a Darwin motel and living at the YMCA, Jake leads a solitary life. His strongest connection is Angel, a sex worker based at the run-down Shark Motel. When a brutal killing shatters his routine, he is pulled into a fight for survival that takes him from Darwin’s oppressive heat to Bangkok. Seeking revenge means confronting dangers he never expected, while the possibility of recovering his former life grows more distant. Sean O’Leary’s crime novel follows a lonely man whose search for answers becomes a struggle to survive.
